About This Book
A grandmother and grandchild explore their garden together through the seasons, discovering the vibrant world of growing vegetables above ground and the busy ecosystem of creatures living below the soil. From earthworms and beetles to sprouting seeds and ripening fruit, every layer of the garden teems with hidden life.
Why We Love This
We love how it makes kids want to dig in the dirt - it's sparked so many real-life garden explorations and taught our family to appreciate the hidden world beneath our feet.
